I've had two tats done at Richards, and although they are alright done, the guy who did them was a total prick both times. He had a go at me for tensing my muscle while he was tattooing me, I explained that I wasn't doing in on purpose but it was just a natural raection to pain, he looked over at the other tattoist guy and laughed at me and told me to "fucking sit still". If it wasn't for the fact that I would be left with half a tattoo I would have told him to go to fuck and walked out. Both times he was surly, unhelpful, didn't offer me any after care advice, and seemed to have nothing but complete disdain for the customers who are paying his wages. I wouldn't get another tattoo there if they paid me. I think the fact that you can walk in to Richards and walk out again half an hour later with a tattoo, whereas having to book weeks in advance at Draconian speaks volumes about which one is the better establishment.
Plus, a sign in any shop saying "No hookers or streetwalkers allowed" doesn't exactly scream "class". |
